There are quite a few clones and derivatives of Taken since its release in 2008. Here are 35 mini-reviews.

It is not an action fest but rather a character-driven film. Looks good and well-produced. Korean film or not, can be tightened a bit.

Despite needing more action and attention to a few details, it is still a sufficiently satisfying revenge action-thriller.

Moderately enjoyable despite clumsy plotting. Good performances and would be better if the cast is given more to work with.

Not a bad revenge film about a young woman going after those responsible for her best friend’s death.

Short and tight series. A little unfocused at first, somewhat children-orientated but also too dark for it to be. Still, mostly satisfying.

Robert McCall is shot and needs time to recover in a picturesque Italian town. Takes too long to build and not enough action.

Set 15 years after Revival, a team of synths attempts to retrieve an Alien sample. Lacks the more refined execution of the previous volumes.

A sufficiently satisfying conclusion. Despite the long runtime, it actually doesn’t drag.

Revival collects Issues 7 to 12 and is set two years after the events of Bloodlines.

It’s basically Luc Besson’s updated, Cold War version of Le Femme Nikita starring a Russian model.

This comic is a 5-issue collection originally published by Dark Horse in 2019 based on William Gibson’s unproduced screenplay.

A gritty vigilante film with Denzel Washington beating up thugs. Need I say more?

Set in 2200—about twenty-one years after the film Aliens—this story follows Gabriel Cruz, a security veteran for Weyland-Yutani.

Terminator-like time paradox. Moderately intriguing. Poor execution, inadequately explained plot points and devices.

Amusing series as the main character is dragged into the webtoon world. Excessive plot conveniences but still enjoyable.

Somewhat predictable. Tries too hard to look cool at times. Good voice acting (Japanese). Not bad but nothing great. Overhyped.

Robocopped team tries to take down criminal organization. Overly simplistic and cheesy. Plot and characters lack dimension.

Vigilantes solve and fight crime. Generally good pacing, acting and production, making an entertaining and satisfying series.

Unlocked is basically another Taken-like action-thriller. Nothing particularly bad but nothing particularly good either.

Another game show survival thriller. Although generally predictable, it is amusing. Good production but I wouldn’t rave about it.
